This is what I'm now going to settle with.

The screen function was really wicked. I've always felt lost
while I'm messing about my screens.

If you have any advice, please make them regarding this setup:

if [[ `whoami` = root ]] then

         a1="%{$fg_bold[red]%}"
         a2="%{$fg_no_bold[red]%}"

else

         a1="%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}"
         a2="%{$fg_no_bold[cyan]%}"

fi

PROMPT="$a1(%n@%m)$a2(%D{%d/%m}+%D{%H:%M})"$'\n'
PROMPT+="$a2(%~) %{$reset_color%}"

if [[ $+WINDOW = 1 && $TERM = screen* ]] then

         PROMPT="$a1(%n@%m)$a2($WINDOW)(%D{%d/%m}+%D{%H:%M})"$'\n'
         PROMPT+="$a2(%~) %{$reset_color%}"

fi

Thanks :)
